That's not a bug, it's a feature ;-) > Why isn't len implemented as a str.len and list.len method instead of > a len(list) function? As Terry Reedy wrote, partly history and partly practicality. There's no philosophical reason why we write "len(x)" (generic builtin), "x.append(1)" (method) or "del x[i]" (statement). The latter in particular is IMHO a design wart; there's no reason for not writing it as "x.delete(i)". George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
